The trading decision on the appeal of the people associated with the market
It is being told that trading was decided on Saturday on the appeal of the market people. Because the budget announcements bring about a lot of fluctuations in the market. In 2015 too, trading was done on BSE despite the budget being Saturday. The stock market is generally closed on Saturday-Sunday.
Last year, the government increased the surcharge on the super-rich, later reversed the decision
Announcements for sector-specific companies have an impact on the stocks of sector-specific companies. Talking about the last 6 full budgets of the Modi government, the stock market was in a loss 4 times on the budget day. The budget was presented on 5 July last year. The Sensex had lost 1% on that day and the Nifty 1.14%. In the last budget, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced to increase the surcharge on the super-rich. Foreign investors were also considered within its purview. This had led to a decline in the market. However, the government withdrew the surcharge hike a few days later.
